Counting On Each Other

To the Editor:

“United We Stand.” I don’t know how, but it seems that many citizens of this country have forgotten the importance of those three simple words. Pointing fingers, placing blame, and concern for individual needs has gotten in the way.

We are still the greatest country in the world. The American Dream is still alive, just on life support. But if we can’t get past the need to pick apart every decision by our leaders, and forgive the mistakes of past leaders we will never move forward and become an even greater America. So let’s stop counting old votes and instead start counting on each other, and we will all succeed.
